I would like some feedback, bcs my I-129F petition was denied and my fiancé wants to do the CR1 visa now! My question is will it be easier for us to get approved for our CR1 petition than the I-129F petition we got denied for? Not only did they deny it, but it took them more than 3 years and 4 months to deny it. My fiancé had our first baby together back in November of 2022, and we want to be together as a family bcs being apart sucks. Any advice pls feel free to let me know.

Thanks, I appreciate it! Yes, me too!

Yeah, I already have a report from my counselor. I'm not seeing a counselor anymore as the incident happened 6 years ago, and I completed my court required low risk counseling successfully. Yes, I only had my parents write a letter of support not to justify whether I'm going to re-offend again. But I also had the athletic administrator at the high school write a letter to verify that I have volunteered my time in the past 6 years keeping the clock at the home basketball games and stats at away games.

Thanks, yes that is what i have done is completed a letter stating that i have done counseling as required by the courts and I was determined to be a low risk for repeating such an act. I've also volunteered my time keeping clock with the high school where my dad coaches girls basketball, and doing stats and score book on away games. I had my parents and the high school athletic administrator write a letter of support for me as well.

So I got the letter from USCIS and it's a NOID! They are giving me just 87 days to respond to the letter, with my evidence they are requesting otherwise they will make a decision based on the information they have already. I'm going to send my evidence in on Wednesday as I'm waiting for one last document. I'm praying they will approve it this time. They are requesting stuff that I've already sent, but I'm going to resend it anyways bcs I don't want to take a chance of getting denied. Does anyone know if sending pictures of our newborn daughter will help getting approved along with the evidence they are requesting. Basically, the letter is requesting me to prove that I'm not a risk to my beneficiary or any derivative beneficiary and that the charge of battery from 6 years ago should not be considered a specified offense of the AWA. I must prove all of ĥthese things. Pls let me know if you have any suggestions on what else to submit as my burden of proof that I'm not a risk to my beneficiary or anyone else!

Oh ok!

Oh ok! Your collecting information from USCIS or on this site?

Oh ok! Are you saying that you received a text msg and email notification like I received on Friday? So your situation is similar to mine in what way, just curious?

So are you still waiting for a decision on your case or did you receive an approval already?

No, I never admitted guilt to any charge. The DA offered to dismiss the original charge in exchange for a guilty plea of misdemeanor battery. Besides they had no physical evidence against me and I never gave a statement to any officer or anyone for that matter and I think another reason they dropped the original charge is bcs the victim lied several times and kept changing her story and she admitted to lying so I think they figured if it went to a jury trial they couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt the original charge bcs they didn't have a credible witness. When I talk to USCIS, I always spoke with tier 2 or tier 3 bcs tier 1 is just basic support. They don't have access to a lot of the stuff tier 2 and tier 3 have.

I was never convicted of a AWA crime. I was arrested but the original charge was dropped in exchange for a plea bargain to a lesser offense being misdemeanor battery. But yeah, I'm not getting my hopes up, however, I talked to uscis before I ever filed my petition more than 2 years 4 months and 27 days ago, and they told me to make sure that I provide plenty of documentation for any past criminal history, which I did and it is up to the sole discretion of the officer adjudicating my case.

It's not a denial, but maybe an RFE. However, we are both free to marry and we have met 3 times in the last 3 years, but twice this last year so it's not for those reasons.

Why sad?

I was never convicted of the original charge. I plea bargain in order for them to dismiss the original charge and all I got was misdemeanor battery.

Yes, but it was dismissed and I already talked to USCIS about that before applying. It doesn't necessarily mean they will deny it, especially if you have the appropriate documents to back it up and also its up to the discretion of the officer reviewing my case.
